Chairman's Letter

As I enter my second season as Chairman of the HPYA, I remain excited about the future of our park. My responsibilities are filled with the satisfaction of providing a youth program for over 1,300 boys and girls to enjoy the great game of baseball and softball. Serving as Chairman, I have been given the opportunity to work with volunteers who donate their valuable time in support of the park. For their efforts, I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation.

HPYA is all about providing a fair and equal recreational outlet for our children and community. I remain committed to this purpose and continue to build HPYA into the best community supported youth baseball and softball program in the state of Georgia. HPYA is a program unique in makeup and structure. Our park is a not-for-profit organization completely self-funded through registration proceeds, corporate donations and fund-raisers. Our park is managed and supported through 100% volunteer time and effort.

I firmly believe the work of our Board Members, League Directors, Coaches, Team Parents, Parents, Players, Sponsors and others will continue to provide a family-oriented recreational program, which continues to become a vital part of our community. I ask for your personal support in helping me make the HPYA the best it can be for our children and our community.

Best regards,

Byron Kizer, III
Chairman, HPYA
